Messages from Recruiters on LinkedIn
From time to time, I get messages from 3rd party recruiters on LinkedIn who say they have an open position at a local real estate company (they don't name the company) that they'd love to talk to me about.
Why is it that they don't name the company who they're recruiting for? Would a 3rd party recruiter for a top REPE shop, developer, or REIT go about things this way? I feel like if I was recruiting on behalf of a big name real estate firm I'd tell the potential hiree who I was working for off the bat to get them interested. Or could that make the firm look needy?
I'm very satisfied in my current position and have no intention of leaving anytime soon. I'm just interested in hearing y'all's input for future reference.
in my experience, recruiters who reach out to talk but BS when you ask about the role or hiring company are trying to: -have call quotas they need to fill or some other metric -fishing for market intel (may ask your current salary expectations, etc) -want access to your network -you are plan B,C,D, etc -combination of above
for context, i dont work in RE but this is generically fair for many recruiters
